Maybe he has been trying to get a hold of the CME and find a private brokerage??? Simulator money is easy to reload. I tried to take this guy seriously but including "poops" in his s/n on the livestream makes it very difficult.
He is trading real money. He traded last night right as the market opened and i saw with my own eyes his orders showing up in the order book.
In 2013 I started at $2.95, steadily reduced them as trading volume went up until they agreed to $0.25 two years ago, then free recently.
Judging by his P and L swings,it appears he is trading in between 5-10 mil notional... Thats more than 10k of APPL,not factoring in adjustments for Vol..
I've traded like 3000 lots over a period of like 10 hours. not sure what more you would want. didnt close because i was sleeping lol. not much money for me at this point, want to ride it out.
Did you decide to go with cme iom lease? Couple that with amp's cheapest clearing cost and cme membership. At least on the retail side...
I got decent enough info on IOM seat that im def going to get it. As for 'private brokerage accounts' I still have no idea what they entail and how beneficial they might be for me.
